      md: batch flush requests. · 2bc13b83
      NeilBrown authored
      Currently if many flush requests are submitted to an md device is quick
      succession, they are serialized and can take a long to process them all.
      We don't really need to call flush all those times - a single flush call
      can satisfy all requests submitted before it started.
      So keep track of when the current flush started and when it finished,
      allow any pending flush that was requested before the flush started
      to complete without waiting any more.
      
      Test results from Xiao:
      
      Test is done on a raid10 device which is created by 4 SSDs. The tool is
      dbench.

      Revert "MD: fix lock contention for flush bios" · 4bc034d3
      NeilBrown authored
      This reverts commit 5a409b4f.
      
      This patch has two problems.
      
      1/ it make multiple calls to submit_bio() from inside a make_request_fn.
       The bios thus submitted will be queued on current->bio_list and not
       submitted immediately.  As the bios are allocated from a mempool,
       this can theoretically result in a deadlock - all the pool of requests
       could be in various ->bio_list queues and a subsequent mempool_alloc
       could block waiting for one of them to be released.
      
      2/ It aims to handle a case when there are many concurrent flush requests.
        It handles this by submitting many requests in parallel - all of which
        are identical and so most of which do nothing useful.
        It would be more efficient to just send one lower-level request, but
        allow that to satisfy multiple upper-level requests.

      Don't jump to compute_result state from check_result state · 4f4fd7c5
      Nigel Croxon authored
      Changing state from check_state_check_result to
      check_state_compute_result not only is unsafe but also doesn't
      appear to serve a valid purpose.  A raid6 check should only be
      pushing out extra writes if doing repair and a mis-match occurs.
      The stripe dev management will already try and do repair writes
      for failing sectors.
      
      This patch makes the raid6 check_state_check_result handling
      work more like raid5's.  If somehow too many failures for a
      check, just quit the check operation for the stripe.  When any
      checks pass, don't try and use check_state_compute_result for
      a purpose it isn't needed for and is unsafe for.  Just mark the
      stripe as in sync for passing its parity checks and let the
      stripe dev read/write code and the bad blocks list do their
      job handling I/O errors.
      
      Repro steps from Xiao:
      
      These are the steps to reproduce this problem:
      1. redefined OPT_MEDIUM_ERR_ADDR to 12000 in scsi_debug.c
      2. insmod scsi_debug.ko dev_size_mb=11000  max_luns=1 num_tgts=1
      3. mdadm --create /dev/md127 --level=6 --raid-devices=5 /dev/sde1 /dev/sde2 /dev/sde3 /dev/sde5 /dev/sde6
      sde is the disk created by scsi_debug
      4. echo "2" >/sys/module/scsi_debug/parameters/opts
      5. raid-check
      
      It panic:

      block: loop: mark bvec as ITER_BVEC_FLAG_NO_REF · 81ba6abd
      Ming Lei authored
      loop is one block device, for any bio submitted to this device,
      the upper layer does guarantee that pages added to loop's bio won't
      go away when the bio is in-flight.
      
      So mark loop's bvec as ITER_BVEC_FLAG_NO_REF then get_page/put_page
      can be saved for serving loop's IO.
